Pittsburgh Steelers' Beanie Bishop Explains Why He Disgraced Pittsburgh Panthers' Logo
Pittsburgh Steelers' Beanie Bishop Explains Why He Disgraced Pittsburgh Panthers' Logo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the most bitter rivalries in all of college football is the Backyard Brawl, played between the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Pittsburgh Panthers. Advertisement The two schools have faced off in the rivalry 107 times, dating back to 1895. The game was played annually from 1943 to 2011, before Pitt joined the Big East and West Virginia joined the Big 12. The rivalry was reignited with a four-game series from 2022 to 2025, and the two schools have agreed to play another four game set from 2029 to 2032. Pitt leads the series 63-41-3, including a 15-game winning streak from 1929-1946. It's one of the most heated rivalries in college football, and arguably the most intense rivalry in the eastern United States. Pittsburgh Steelers' cornerback Beanie Bishop, a former Mountaineer, posted himself wiping his cleats on Pitts' logo, which started a social media frenzy. 'It's a rivalry, obviously people are not going to like me based on what school I went to and that's fine,' Bishop told Steelers media on Wednesday. 'It's part of the rivalry. We don't like those guys and they don't like us. I don't really have any liking for those guys, that's part of it... Advertisement "...That's self-explanatory. If you go and ask them, they probably hate me. Do I care? No, not really?" Bishop continued. "That's just part of it. If you go ask any fan in Baltimore 'what do they think about the Steelers?' They hate us. It is what it is. It's part of the rivalry. I'm only concerned with the Pittsburgh Steelers fans and West Virginia fans in that instance.' The Steelers hold their training camp at the UMPC Rooney Sports Complex, a facility shared by both the Steelers and the Panthers. Bishop must feel like practicing behind enemy lines, training on Panthers turf. Bishop also noted on Tuesday that he does not enjoy having Pitt players and coaches watch him practice. "It's hatred. You don't have respect for those guys." Bishop told Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter. "I don't even like seeing their coaches and players watching us practice ... I don't think it should be week 2 or week 3. It should be part of rivalry week."

Will Steelers punish CB Beanie Bishop Jr. for cleat stomping Pitt logo? Insider weighs in
Will Steelers punish CB Beanie Bishop Jr. for cleat stomping Pitt logo? Insider weighs in The Backyard Brawl rivalry is alive and well — as Steelers CB and former WVU Mountaineer Beanie Bishop stomped and dragged his cleats on the Pitt logo at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. The Steelers share their training facility with Pitt football — which could force the team to take action against their second-year CB. However, one insider close to the situation argued that may not be the case. According to Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan, insider Jeff Hathhorn '…does not expect Beanie Bishop to be disciplined by the Steelers for his cleat stomping incident at Pitt.' General field quality concerns aside, you have to wonder if this would even be a discussion had the Steelers not been forced to share a training facility with the University of Pittsburgh in the first place. Should Bishop face consequences for his actions against the University of Pittsburgh — or is this just the cost of doing business with players who know the Backyard Brawl all too well?
